Examine and Compare CLEAR Language Arts Units for ways to connect with Math content.<br />2. Example: 8th Grade CLEAR Unit 2 Language Arts concerns <a href="http://clear.houstonisd.org/cms/lessonresources/15944.pdf">Short Stories</a>. Earlier CLEAR Language Arts Units taught the very types of instructional strategies that Marzano requires of math.<br />3. Help students see the number patterns in that unit: fractional presence, percentages of the story that involve this, operations as metaphors in the story, functional relationships et al.<br />4. Work with a Language Arts teacher to help your students make meaning across the disciplines.<br />5. Involve student interests to motivate them: e.g. movies above represent some of their favorite films. These are used to help them find 1) the <a href="http://gloryshortstory.blogspot.com/">glory in their story</a>, and 2) number patterns in that story. Example: these films represent the interests of Language Arts Students in an 8th Grade English Class. This gives them voice as they learn.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/35781102-116046147598329278?l=cinematwinplexlong.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>inalcohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12183337257446824463noreply@blogger.com0
